In the beginning...

Greetings to anyone reading this,

Most of my life I have struggled with my weight and longed to be more fit. Now at 29 years old I weigh 288.2 lbs and need to shed the weight. For years I have tried a number of different diets and met them with moderate success, but after a while it all came back. I am at the point of being sick and tired of being sick and tired, it is time to make major changes not only for myself but my family that I love so much.

Last winter I went to the doctor to get a prescription for a sinus infection that would not go away. The doctor took my blood pressure and quickly forgot why I was there. She began warning me of the path I was headed down and that I was too young to be in this shape. Yes I was embarrassed to be like this, but she was right. It is time to start living better for those I love!

I began looking at many different diet plans out there of every conceivable nature. Some of them are very popular and some seemed ridiculous. One day I noticed a couple of people at the credit union who were melting away. One of them began to tell me her story of battling her weight her whole life and that a friend had introduced her to this program.

In short, everyone I spoke to who was on the program, was excited about it and mentioned how easy it was to follow. Everything I read was practical and coincided with everything I knew about healthy weight loss.

So here is to some great changes that will be life-long! Come back frequently to updates, progress, successes and pictures! And don't forget to leave me comments and even questions, I'll do my best to answer them!
